Hello, Kung Fu Panda Fans!

I know that I'm in the middle of another story, "Phoenix of Yin, Dragon of Yang" (Which you should read!), but I wanted to get the idea for this one out there!

The idea is this: In the Valley of Peace is a prestigious academy where animals can learn Kung Fu and other fighting styles to unlock their potentials and earn the coveted title of Master. Many familiar faces go here, all trying to be the best and become heroes while living their lives and making new relationships with each other.

Now, I know what you might be thinking, "Dragon Saver, isn't this just a Modern/ High School AU?" and to that I say, no, not really. If you've ever seen/ read "My Hero Academia," it's similar to that in the sense that it's about trying to become a hero while in a learning environment to one day go out into the world to protect it.

The best part is that it won't just be Po, the Furious Five, and their friends and enemies, I want to include characters from the community here on fanfiction in the story as well. There are 24 slots open for attendance, so go ahead and leave a review or PM with your character, following the guidelines below!

PLEASE READ

There is a limit on how many characters you can leave. You can have multiple characters if you want, but only up to five. THAT DOES NOT MEAN ALL FIVE WILL GET IN. If there are people that need a slot and you have more than one, YOU MAY BE ASKED TO REMOVE ONE OF YOUR CHARACTERS. To mitigate this, please rank your characters by importance or relevancy for who you want to see on the story.

Also, if you have multiple characters and one of them gets dropped, you might see them in the town or as one of the background students, just not as a main focus character.

Okay, with that out of the way, we can get to the fun part: the character reference!

ONE LAST NOTE

Please fill out all parts of the reference. Though I might know your character, it will help me to write them better if you fill it all out. I might PM you for more details if you don't, so be thorough!

Name: Your character's name, and/ or the name they go by (Last name is optional but appreciated)

Gender: Self-Explanatory. Male or Female (sexual preference is optional)

Species: The type of animal your character is.

Appearance: Your character's eye color, along with a general description of how they look.

Civilian Clothes: What your character wears when not in combat. Make sure to keep the clothes consistent with your species, IE if your character us a bird then they can't wear gloves. Also remember that since this is set in modern times, your civilian clothes be more contemporary in style.

Fighting Clothes: What your character wears when in combat/ hero training. The same rules apply here: keep it consistent with their species. (This will probably just be what your character wears in their own story, or maybe not. You decide!)

Personality: What your character acts like. KEEP THIS TO UNDER FOUR SENTENCES. I just need the basics, not every intricate detail.

Combat Style: How your character fights and what weapon they use.

Special Attack: Your character's ultimate attack and/ or super form.

Character Arc: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. The character arc is what your character wants to achieve at Jade Palace Academy. What is their ambition? Why did they join the academy?

Backstory: what your character was doing before coming to Jade Palace Academy. As with personality, keep this under four sentences.

Other: extra things I should know about your character.

To help with creating your reference, here is one for my character (which I guess brings the number of slots open to 23…)

Name: Karasu

Gender: Male

Species: Raven

Appearance: green eyes, his feathers have an obsidian shine to them in the light. His head feathers stick up in the back.

Civilian Clothes: A white hoodie that has a dragon design, along with grey sweatpants and a purple scarf. Sometimes has headphones.

Fighting Clothes: A blue ninja kimono. Keeps his purple scarf.

Personality: Calm and collected, if somewhat distant at first. He gets super serious when fighting, but really just wants to help others. If you're his friend, then Karasu will stay loyal to you through thick and thin.

Combat Style: Uses ninjutsu, along with his Masamune Blade, ninja stars, and arrows. Also has Aether Chi and ninja magic. His most common move is to summon a spirit dragon.

Special Attack: Dragon Strike, a massive spirit dragon sword strike. Can turn into his Tao Dragon form, where his kimono turns white with a gold dragon design. This form gives him unlimited Chi for five minutes.

Character Arc: Karasu wants to fully master his Tao powers. With his mother being the Phoenix of Yin and his dad the Dragon of Yang, Karasu has to live up to their legacies and find balance in his powers. He also wants to make friends, but is nervous about telling them his secret.

Backstory: Karasu is a transfer student from Japan. He learned ninja magic from his mother and sword fighting from his father.

Other: at the academy, he tends to limit himself as to not give too much away in a fight.

I hope to see some of your characters here! This story won't start until after "Phoenix of Yin, Dragon of Yang" concludes, so expect the first official chapter in January next year!
